It's fair to say the weather over the last week has been pretty exceptionally hot.

That change in weather has resulted in many of us changing our dressing habits accordingly and wearing clothes we don't get to wear nearly enough.

Harriet Rae had a horrible shock when she was laughed at for her appearance after going into Superdrug in a pair of shorts.

She wrote: "Don't worry, I heard the comments you made to each other about my appearance and my shorts.

"You spoke loud enough for most people to hear.

"Its obviously not the first time you've had a giggle and a made comments about another girl but when you do it normally, the person you talk about probably looks away and you actually make them feel really sad inside. (sic)

"But today, by the looks on your faces you really weren't prepared for the massive cheesy smile I gave you!

"I do feel slightly saddened that you think it's ok to speak about another female, or in fact anyone, in that way.

"I don't believe you gained anything from it apart from looking a little bit silly when you realised I heard you.

"If somehow you end up reading this, as Cornwall is a very small place, can you be a little bit kinder with your words? Some peoples skin isn't as thick as mine has become and the next persons might be very thin indeed."

She also showed she wasn't willing to sink to their level, adding: "If you did your own hair and make up for work today, you are both very talented. I could never get my winged liner or my ponytail that perfect! #makelovenotwar #girlpower.

"Heres a photo of the cheesy smile and the shorts."

The incident happened at the Superdrug store in Truro and they have since apologised.

A spokesperson for Superdrug said: "Following the post on Facebook we launched an immediate investigation.

"At Superdrug we pride ourselves on the highest levels of customer service and would like to apologise unreservedly if on this occasion we have failed to meet our high standards.
